Configure SMTP for outbound emails

To configure outbound email, follow these steps:

Log in to the application as an administrator.

Select the System Settings.

Enable SMTP Option and enter details for the SMTP server to be used for outbound email. For example, to configure a Gmail account, you could use the settings below. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your Gmail account username and password respectively.

SMTP Server - ssl://smtp.gmail.com

SMTP Username - USERNAME@gmail.com

SMTP Password - PASSWORD

SMTP port - 465

Click “Proceed” to save your changes.

To configure the application to use other third-party SMTP services for outgoing email, such as SendGrid, refer to the FAQ.
